So for some reason my SNAC won't fire via keyboard shortcut. It's in slot 7 but if I press 7 it won't fire, it works fine via the mouse and 1-6 work fine, any ideas?
No idea, but I can see another problem. If you're firing it with the "7" key then you're doing a lot of reaching over your keyboard. I'd recommend giving it either a weapons group and setting "fire weapons group 2" to middle mouse, as I do, or setting "Fire weapon 7" to middle mouse or something easier to reach
EDIT: Also, what kind of ship are you flying? That might explain the problems
